The Denver Nuggets just executed what can only be described as the front office equivalent of trying to perform heart surgery while skydiving. With THREE GAMES left before the playoffs, they’ve fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth.
This isn’t just a personnel change: it’s basketball organizational malpractice that makes the Chernobyl control room look like a model of careful decision-making.
The timing defies all logic. The Nuggets sit at 47-32, firmly in the Western Conference’s 4-seed with legitimate championship aspirations. Remember, this is a team that hoisted the Larry O’Brien Trophy a mere TWO SEASONS AGO with Malone orchestrating the symphony.
